#klance #can i tell everyone to look away before i write tags to someone privately lmao no? damn #anyway yes i meant music!! and thank you for sharing something!! #baking seems like a hyperfixation #like i know you said you baked once but then look at me #...i was thinking if i could make salads.... i gotta be medicore at least at one food thing #its a joke its a joke #i will one day get used to focusing on more complicated kitchen work than heating up meat or cooking things in salt and water #anyone else had trouble getting out of bed this december? #once i do i try to pick physical activities that dont require creative thinking because man #at the post office i had small talk with a lady waiting in line she didnt speak polish so u know me it happened #and she recommended light therapy lamp #im very tempted to try it becase i had record bad thoughts sleepless nights and jerking awake this month #it might be rooted in economic instability growing inflation costs of living and shitty working conditions while still trying to buy gifts? #but hey there are things we cant have control over and there are things we can #ive got winter wonderland comic coming though #i will try my best to speed-finish it as a christmas gift aight #i hope its going to be a nice thing!! #wow thats a long set of tags

but fr outside of my contracted madness i absolutely refuse to give joe alwyn gold rush like how is that song at all related to their relationship the lyrics clearly spell out a relationship that either never existed or only existed in implication and fantasies and maybe-maybe nots and its so bitter and yet desperately soft in the bridge where it almost projects a sense of envy, of wanting to be them as much as you want them. It continues an interesting oft ignored lyrical trend of taylor wanting just as much to be her lover as to have them, envying their easy charisma (you were flush with the currency of cool/i was always turning out my pockets) or quiet dignity (your integrity makes me seem small) dating back to her earliest songs (the kind of flawless i wish i could be). Theres a projected self hatred and yearning to be better that twists itself into both romantic and sexual lust for her partners thats so fascinating and speaks to how all of her songs regardless of who theyre about are also an act of self reflection on who she is and who she wishes to be.

#barry.txt #taylor swift #putting this in the tags as a form of self protection but make no mistake this is a gay thing to do especially in gold rush #which through simple context clues is Obviously About A Woman or maybe even women in general #whivh is a totally seperate post on how taylor constructs and uses gender identity in her music #her girlhood and femininity are earnest but also so carefully constructed and so high effort and kind of desperate #shes a deeply self concious and obsessive person who never looks comfortable in anything ever unless shes #onstage or like. by herself in loose jeans and a tshirt #i think thats one of the things that subconsciously irritate ppl when it comes to her shes constantly and clearly putting in effort #to appear As The Celebrity Taylor Swift and struggles not to self censor or overperform in interviews (when she gives them) #especially present in pre 1989 interviews where the interviewers really didnt have to respect her or worry abt how they frame her #if they didnt want to. Like the fearless era rolling stone interview where she almost has a meltdown over her mom buying eggnog instead of #milk. That whole interview is strange looking back not just bc of the weird misogyny but also because of what it does share #taylor is....weird. She has a strange and desperate vibe and always reacts slightly too much and uses slang poorly #shes media trained and has learned how to socialize but you can feel her discomfort whenever she doesnt have a guitar in her hand #idk these tags have once again gotten so unweildy. i just find it interesting that she finally feels some level of comfortable #in sharing that construction w us in songs like mirrorball and mastermind and imo gold rush #and scene #should i write this up and put it in the swiftieism zine #i should write something and put it in the swiftieism zine

i will say with my whole chest that i hate what is happening with music marketing right now. i hate that a song needs to be a tiktok trend. i hate that one album is being released in 23 ways to trick people into buying multiple albums because there are different covers and different photos inside. i hate that one album is being rereleased multiple times as deluxe and then the super deluxe and then super secret version with one additional song just to make the numbers!!!!!! i hate that people without vinyl players buy multiple vinyls of the same album just to own them and collect them. i know no one is making anyone buy multiple versions of the same fucking album by putting a gun to their head BUT COME ONNNNN its all about the money and people and just giving into that!!!!!!!!

#like i said. no one is making anyone do anything HOWEVER this is all a TRICK #7 different covers and 7 different covers of one album in the economy of undecided people #of course officially its so you can choose the onw you like the most #but truth is. there are thousands of people who will buy all the versions just to own them and they male the numbers #i HATE IT #with a burning passion #THIS IS NOT ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT SPECIFICALLY BUT IT ALSO APPLIES #its brought to you by me working at a place where we (among other things) sell vinyls and a 12 year old bought 4 versions of one album #on vinyl and said with their whole chest they are doing it for tiktok views #LIKE DUDEEEEEEE #I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE OLD MAN SHOUTING AT A CLOUD MEME BUT COME ON #I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THIS AND I CRAVE TO TALK TO SOMEONE WHO THINKS THE SAME #tell me i am not crazy #music

Just thinking about the genuine beauty of this movie.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed by Lotte Reiniger (1926, Germany)

#the adventures of prince achmed #lotte reiniger #animation #silhouette animation #german film #classic film #snow white was not the first full length animated film #the first one was in 1917 but no longer exists #the next one was this achmed #the music is wonderful too #you can buy it on on DVD #or watch it on YouTube #I'm pretty sure it's in the public domain #paper dolls #paper puppets #shadow puppets #silouette #puppets #silent film #fairy tale #aladdin #1001 arabian nights #arabian nights #Lotte was just 23 when she made this movie #it was made in the attic of her neighbors garage #she had a small team to help her but basically made most of it by herself #what a badass #handmade #stop motion animation #women filmmakers

Dude they were right about rdr2 altering your brain chemistry, I'll be sitting in work and think of Arthur Morgan and start crying

#for reference I work in a tech repair/second hand tech shop #so most of the time I'm in the back on my own testing computers and consoles and vibing to music #and then I'll think of arthur morgan and man #that guy changes you #we also sell games so we have a lot of rdr2 copies #I love it when kids come in and try to buy rdr2 #and I have to be like “sorry buddy you gotta wait a few more years till you can be a cowboy” #it sucks because they'd love it but they'll appreciate the game more when they're older ofc #oh well #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #arthur morgan

[buticanfixhernoreallyican]

feeling kinda icky about the rollout of ttpd tbh

#taylor swift #obviously i’m excited for the music but the whole “oh wow get this limited edition cd before it’s gone jk you can get it again hahaha” is #giving over consumption & capitalism #making fans feel pressured to buy 4 cds for new photocards or a bonus track is just dumb to me

good morning to everyone except people who sell bootlegs... y'all can go to hell

#feeling petty this fine sunday #broadway #musical bootlegs #musicals #broadway bootlegs #like i get it why they do that #but the whole point of bootlegs is so people who can't afford to travel/buy tickets can see the shows #and you make them pay anyway...?? #don't get me started about those fucking prices #it's sometimes more than your average poor person can allow themself to spend #speaking from experience #also this goes out to people who set nft dates four/five years from now #there's being careful and there's gatekeeping #i'm fine with waiting for nft date to pass when it's like. several months or a year #but making your bootlegs nft forever and then charging 20 fucking dollars #bruh

Was looking at my iPod Nano and thought how utterly BS it is that companies say it takes too much room to have a headphone jack.

I already thought it was BS before but the claim invariably comes down to form factor and keeping the jacks would make the device too big.

My Nano is ~5mm thick with the jack (also it's thinner than that but the glass stands out to make it thicker). That's nearly 3mm thinner than the latest iPhone and even the thinnest iPhone is over 2mm thicker.

You're telling me as components and ports shrink and boards also get smaller, it's unfeasible to do something that was done a decade ago?

It's almost as if it's not that form factor/technology doesn't allow it and it's all about selling proprietary adapters and/or Apple-brand headphones/earbuds/airpods that can be paired without a jack, and removing customer freedom.

#it used to be about removing the option for customers to record music via the jack #but that's been something easily done for ages #'best' is when the claim is a jack is too thick for a laptop #a cell i could possibly understand but a laptop? #the hell is your board and battery if it's thinner than 5mm and you can't find room for the jack #'cause even on compact builds there's dead space #and it's not like optical drives are often a thing now so that frees up even more room #though funny story from when i got my nano #i wanted something to use at work for a physical job so it only needed to play music and fit in a pocket #the staffer (who was probably instructed to upsell everyone) kept trying to get me to buy a cell instead #because 'you can play music off it and do other stuff' #i legit only wanted to get something that did one (1) thing #especially given the chance it could be damaged #also even at the best of times a cell has trouble fitting in afab dress pants pockets #kinda hard to upsell someone on something that costs hundreds more and literally cannot do what they want

good days aren't easy to come by

#simblr #ts4 legacy #valentine gen 4 #fun fact for context on why i care so much abt him finally choosing to play the piano on his own #but it's gonna get Long so strap in #basically. the guitar he used to have had been with him since he was like...... my god. probably about 15 #he bought it at a yard sale for pennies from an older woman #it belonged to her late son originally and it wasn't even . supposed to be a part of the sale in the first place. she just took a liking to #devin and figured that really it's better in the hands of someone who would use it than for it to collect dust in her garage forever #and he couldn't really practice at home. his parents... are not exactly the kindest people you've ever seen #he was too afraid of them destroying or throwing it away so he'd sneak off to god knows where and learn how to play it from old #youtube videos on his busted up phone #it quickly became Everything to him. his most prized possession. and it wasn't a shitty guitar either. the son was a professional musician #that's how ellie and devin met in the first place. he was playing at the market she used to sneak out to in the evenings to #and she instantly knew . this boy is going places and really they might as well go together #enough backstory of the backstory. long story short: he was struggling to make rent eventually and was out of vinyls to pawn off #so he had no choice left. it was either that or he'd get kicked out along with his sister. who was still struggling a lot w/ addiction #so he sold it. and it broke him. he's literally just not been the same since losing it #his sister stole him a guitar from a music shop she'd go to sometimes but it just wasn't the same and he had not played an instrument since #until now anyway #still not a guitar. but maybe someday #or he can find his old one and buy it again......... #lmfao if you made it here congrats. you win nothing bc im broke but i do respect you

i guess i just need to talk it all out and try to make some sense of it. the GazettE are one of the most important bands in my life. they've brought me so many friends and so much happiness over the years. i was just 13 when i started listening to them and now i'm 27. they were such a huge part of my teenage years. they literally kept me going at some points of my life. their music saved my life.

i've always thought i'd get a chance to see them live one day - one of my biggest dreams was to experience flith in the beauty live at least once. and now i probably will never. and if i do, it won't be the same.

i can't believe reita is gone. just like that. he's gone. it feels like an old friend just passed away - someone i hadn't spoken to in years, but still thought of fondly. he was such a wonderful, talented human. i can't believe he's gone.

#i'm sorry i will eventually process this it's just #i'm just at a loss for words really #so many old friends have been talking about this and we're all just trying to make sense of it #i wasn't even active in the fandom anymore not really #and i mostly listen to their old albums at this point #but it's still hitting me hard #please if you have a chance go to shows and buy merch and show the artists you love them while you can #i mean i've always tried (as a foreign fan) to show my love to the band but it wasn't always easy #now i'll never get another chance to do so #oh reita 💔 #thank you for sharing your music and your talent with us for so long it was an honor #reita #the GazettE #personal

4 on the angst list with Araleyn please I need them to suffer

4 : "but it's my fault, right?" (prompt list here)

#<blinks> very gently implied angst i suppose. usually everyone makes anne suffer so for a change #here's catherine struggling with the idea that if she hadn't been so stubborn about divorce- #maybe it would have been more okay for henry to divorce anne instead of. yknow. chopping her head off. #gently implied angst with the. well. i hurt this person i care about. unintentionally. but still. hence also the historical counterparts bg #... i feel like this isn't suffering (italicised for emphasis) but unfortunately? i am in a more melancholy mood #and also coming to conclusion that whump isnt really my taste.. so quite literally you'd have to pay me to draw it .. dfdsghjkl comms open #anyways yeah i think the most you'll get from my own stuff is <reference to beheading> <mentioned death> <abstract reds that might be blood #six the musical #six the musical fanart #anne boleyn #catherine of aragon #pssst drew anne extra pretty bc coa pov. if you get what i mean. #oh that got off tangent. but also tldr; requests mean free art!! (also idm if you ask for specific things. like your own aus. just to put #that out there) #but also requests: 1. up to my creative freedom and discretion so you probs won't get exactly what you want + 2. no time limit so #can take literal years to reply to. #so ig ? if you have specific things in mind. that you want me to draw. commissions would be better for you if you'll pay! #but if you don't have the money i'm also. lowkey willing to draw for free.. stick it in the inbox .. there's just no guarantee you'll get it #within the next year.. or at all! but you may as well try your luck o.O #(this plan is terrible for business but because for a very long time i was unable to buy anything online. i sympathise greatly ig)

How to let the pretty people (mutuals) know that I love them...

#what i would give to hug you all and give you kisses on your head and take you somewhere nice #i live on the coast so maybe we can go walk on the beach or the... pier.... um... tier.... er.... um... dock? #YEAH! and ill show you the raccoons that are there and we can buy some elotes and... #and just have a chill time! talking or listening to music or just enjoying each others company; #!* that sounds lovely #oh!! and we can buy little matching bracelets!! on the docks there are usually people selling stuff! so yeah!!! #how fun!!!! #seari talks

hc that obsidian and its air are incredibly dirty (to the poin that even pale-coloured buildings turn black after like 6 months) and so the upper class wear really elaborate, thin, delicate white clothing to make a point and prove their wealth

#it's sort of simultaneously showing off how much cleaner their home is than everywhere else #and flexing their wealth (they can afford to buy this shit new constantly whenever it gets dirty) #yeah. fun worldbuilding shit. mr steinman are you proud of meee #pip squeaks #bat out of hell #bat out of hell musical #bat out of hell the musical
